I bought some DH murrini seconds, but I don't understand how to get anything but mud out of them. They are made with both striking and reducing colors, so what do I do? strike then reduce? Reduce then strike? dunno. Anyone had success?

For me, I:
Heat, tap, heat tap, repeat until they are on and once they are, if they have lost their color I allow to cool a bit, then reheat just the murrini to clear, then strike as needed, and last thing if I remember I allow to cool a bit, then put a little reduction flame to them.

I am sometimes more successful than others, but it always makes me smile when they are pretty!
